* The audio distortions on the vocals of this track may have been modeled after the reported auditory distortions present in Microwave auditory effect <ref>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect</ref>, which was a facet of telepathy research during the Cold War.

Researchers described that the auditory distortions inherent to this process caused "the sounds [to resemble] those emitted by persons with an artificial voice box." <ref> D.R. Justesen.
